LOL! Your 9 year old and my 9 year old definitely should get together more often. Of course, they might just wind up scaring each other more, especially if he shares his ideas about alien abductions with her.

Holy crap, my son was exactly the same way at that age. He would picture the end of the world every night before bed time. He recently told me (he's 15 now) that sometimes he lies in bed at night and imagines a world where I have died. And cries himself to sleep.

Oh yeah! I can't wait for those questions. Oh to be a child, when all that matters is the end of the world and destruction of all beings (and toys!) When they grow up, they'll learn to worry about more immediate/important matters. ;)

That deleted comment was the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, but I thought it might be too much for your kids to handle. ;)

Your 6-year-old sounds like my middle kid. Those Universe questions can be tricky. It's easier to deal with the ones that look up naughty stuff on the Internet...just unplug the computer. But the ones that ask questions...oh my. :)

been there before! my 7 year old still needs a lesson from Christopher Columbus in that the world isn't flat and we can't sail off of the end of it if we get in a boat and just keep going!love those kinds of conversations for which every answer begets yet another impossible to answer question! :)
